What, No Death Star Sugar Bombs?!: Collectible Lil Star Wars Cereal Boxes



From geekology, Cereal: it's the most important meal of the day. And apparently they're giving away these collectible Star Wars cereal boxes at Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida, August 12th - 15th. Anybody else notice something special about those dates? The 12th is my birthday! *sniff* I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO! Kidding, I'm huffing brake fluid.

"We are thrilled to announce the exclusive giveaways," says Lopez. "In addition to listening to fascinating talks and panels by some of the leading experts on Star Wars collecting, attendees will receive collectible cereal boxes based on Star Wars character 'cereal brands' highlighting each of the sixteen panel topics."

Chris Georgoulias led the effort working with collectors, sponsors, and artists, who contributed to the concepts, funding, and artwork of this completely fan-sponsored giveaway. There are sixteen mini cereal boxes to collect (they are about four inches tall), one for each panel, and they are exclusive to Celebration V! Only 400 of each will be made available.

Hmm. Seems they lifted that idea lock, stock and barrell from this Robot Chicken sketch. Even the box design is the same.

I'd eat Ackbar cereal over Greed-O's any day.
